commit ddfd151f3def9258397fcde7a372205a2d661903 upstream.

H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT handlers receive a page with up to 512 TCEs from
a guest. Although we verify correctness of TCEs before we do anything
with the existing tables, there is a small window when a check in
kvmppc_tce_validate might pass and right after that the guest alters
the page of TCEs, causing an early exit from the handler and leaving
srcu_read_lock(&amp;vcpu-&gt;kvm-&gt;srcu) (virtual mode) or lock_rmap(rmap)
(real mode) locked.

This fixes the bug by jumping to the common exit code with an appropriate
unlock.

<title>powerpc: Allow flush_(inval_)dcache_range to work across ranges &gt;4GB</title>

<content type='text'>
The upstream commit:
22e9c88d486a ("powerpc/64: reuse PPC32 static inline flush_dcache_range()")
has a similar effect, but since it is a rewrite of the assembler to C, is
too invasive for stable. This patch is a minimal fix to address the issue in
assembler.

This patch applies cleanly to v5.2, v4.19 &amp; v4.14.

When calling flush_(inval_)dcache_range with a size &gt;4GB, we were masking
off the upper 32 bits, so we would incorrectly flush a range smaller
than intended.

This patch replaces the 32 bit shifts with 64 bit ones, so that
the full size is accounted for.

[ Upstream commit da1115fdbd6e86c62185cdd2b4bf7add39f2f82b ]

Currently, nvdimm subsystem expects the device numa node for SCM device to be
an online node. It also doesn't try to bring the device numa node online. Hence
if we use a non-online numa node as device node we hit crashes like below. This
is because we try to access uninitialized NODE_DATA in different code paths.

The patch tries to fix this by picking the nearest online node as the SCM node.
This does have a problem of us losing the information that SCM node is
equidistant from two other online nodes. If applications need to understand these
fine-grained details we should express then like x86 does via
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/accessY/initiators/

With the patch we get

commit 17e433b54393a6269acbcb792da97791fe1592d8 upstream.

After commit d73eb57b80b (KVM: Boost vCPUs that are delivering interrupts), a
five years old bug is exposed. Running ebizzy benchmark in three 80 vCPUs VMs
on one 80 pCPUs Skylake server, a lot of rcu_sched stall warning splatting
in the VMs after stress testing:

 INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 4 41 57 62 77} (detected by 15, t=60004 jiffies, g=899, c=898, q=15073)

swait_active() sustains to be true before finish_swait() is called in
kvm_vcpu_block(), voluntarily preempted vCPUs are taken into account
by kvm_vcpu_on_spin() loop greatly increases the probability condition
kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable(vcpu) is checked and can be true, when APICv
is enabled the yield-candidate vCPU's VMCS RVI field leaks(by
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) into spinning-on-a-taken-lock vCPU's current
VMCS.

This patch fixes it by checking conservatively a subset of events.

[ Upstream commit 3a855b7ac7d5021674aa3e1cc9d3bfd6b604e9c0 ]

In some cases initial bind of scm memory for an lpar can fail if
previously it wasn't released using a scm-unbind hcall. This situation
can arise due to panic of the previous kernel or forced lpar
fadump. In such cases the H_SCM_BIND_MEM return a H_OVERLAP error.

To mitigate such cases the patch updates papr_scm_probe() to force a
call to drc_pmem_unbind() in case the initial bind of scm memory fails
with EBUSY error. In case scm-bind operation again fails after the
forced scm-unbind then we follow the existing error path. We also
update drc_pmem_bind() to handle the H_OVERLAP error returned by phyp
and indicate it as a EBUSY error back to the caller.

25078dc1f74be16b858e914f52cc8f4d03c2271a first introduced an off by
one error in the ZONE_DMA initialization of PPC_BOOK3E_64=y and since
9739ab7eda459f0669ec9807e0d9be5020bab88c the off by one applies to
PPC32=y too. This simply corrects the off by one and should resolve
crashes like below:

[   65.179101] page 0x7fff outside node 0 zone DMA [ 0x0 - 0x7fff ]

Unfortunately in various MM places "max" means a non inclusive end of
range. free_area_init_nodes max_zone_pfn parameter is one case and
MAX_ORDER is another one (unrelated) that comes by memory.

<content type='text'>
commit 28d2a6e6684d9851905f379816d8a4d03587ed94 upstream.

The ability to run nested guests under KVM means that a guest can also
act as a hypervisor for it's own nested guest. Currently
ppc_set_pmu_inuse() assumes that either FW_FEATURE_LPAR is set,
indicating a guest environment, and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in
the lppaca, or that it isn't set, indicating a hypervisor environment,
and so sets the pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca.

The pmcregs_in_use flag in the lppaca is used to communicate this
information to a hypervisor and so must be set in a guest environment.
The pmcregs_in_use flag in the paca is used by KVM code to determine
whether the host state of the performance monitoring unit (PMU) must
be saved and restored when running a guest.

Thus when a guest also acts as a hypervisor it must set this bit in
both places since it needs to ensure both that the real hypervisor
saves it's PMU registers when it runs (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in
lppaca), and that it saves it's own PMU registers when running a
nested guest (requires pmcregs_in_use flag in paca).

Modify ppc_set_pmu_inuse() so that the pmcregs_in_use bit is set in
both the lppaca and the paca when a guest (LPAR) is running with the
capability of running it's own guests (CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_POSSIBLE).

commit f16d80b75a096c52354c6e0a574993f3b0dfbdfe upstream.

On systems like P9 powernv where we have no TM (or P8 booted with
ppc_tm=off), userspace can construct a signal context which still has
the MSR TS bits set. The kernel tries to restore this context which
results in the following crash:

The problem is the signal code assumes TM is enabled when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is enabled. This may not be the case as
with P9 powernv or if `ppc_tm=off` is used on P8.

This means any local user can crash the system.

Fix the problem by returning a bad stack frame to the user if they try
to set the MSR TS bits with sigreturn() on systems where TM is not
supported.

Found with sigfuz kernel selftest on P9.

This fixes CVE-2019-13648.

commit da0ef93310e67ae6902efded60b6724dab27a5d1 upstream.

The virtual real mode addressing (VRMA) mechanism is used when a
partition is using HPT (Hash Page Table) translation and performs real
mode accesses (MSR[IR|DR] = 0) in non-hypervisor mode. In this mode
effective address bits 0:23 are treated as zero (i.e. the access is
aliased to 0) and the access is performed using an implicit 1TB SLB
entry.

The size of the RMA (Real Memory Area) is communicated to the guest as
the size of the first memory region in the device tree. And because of
the mechanism described above can be expected to not exceed 1TB. In
the event that the host erroneously represents the RMA as being larger
than 1TB, guest accesses in real mode to memory addresses above 1TB
will be aliased down to below 1TB. This means that a memory access
performed in real mode may differ to one performed in virtual mode for
the same memory address, which would likely have unintended
consequences.

To avoid this outcome have the guest explicitly limit the size of the
RMA to the current maximum, which is 1TB. This means that even if the
first memory block is larger than 1TB, only the first 1TB should be
accessed in real mode.
